Giorgio Mantica

Università degli Studi dell'Insubria, Italy

Giorgio Mantica was born in Milan, Italy on January 4th, 1960. He received the B.S. degree in physics, summa cum laude, from the University of Pavia, Lombardy, Italy in 1982, where he was a fellow at Collegio Ghislieri, and the Ph.D. degree in theoretical physics from the University of Milan, Italy in 1986. From 1984 to 1989, he had been a Research Associate and a postdoctoral fellow at the School of Physics of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Ga, USA. From 1987 to 1989, he had been working at Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, Ga, USA. From 1989 to 1991, he had been a Visiting Scientist at the Service de Physique Theorique of the Commissariat a’ l’Energie Atomique in Saclay, France. He returned definitely to Italy in 1994 as a Researcher in mathematical analysis at the University of Milan, and in the following year he moved to the Institute of Mathematics and Physics at Como, Italy. Since 2001, he has been an Associate Professor of mathematical physics at the University of Insubria in Como, Italy. His research interests are in the field of dynamical systems and chaos, both in classical and quantum dynamics. He is also interested in the theory of singular continuous measures, orthogonal polynomials and their Fourier transforms, and the numerical analysis of these quantities.
